Always in pursuit of one more lap? we can relate if you wish the powdery days weren’t coming to an end! The last days of the season bring new opportunities to explore new terrain you may have overlooked in the past. Before the summer heat melts the rest, we’ve compiled some great locations and pro tips to help you get the most out of your board and skiing equipment this year.
After stocking up at the Ski Bum, you’ll be amazed at the many late-season skiing and riding opportunities you can find in the US. Even though our ski shop’s local resorts in Pennsylvania are closed, they still have plenty of worthwhile activities after the snowpack turns into flowers on the slopes. Let’s explore what’s out there!
Take a Trip Out West for Awesome Mountain Adventures
The wild west happens to host some of the finest skiing and boarding for enthusiasts at every skill level. While you may not need to bring too many extra socks for the sunny skiing ahead, you’ll need to keep your edges tuned and your goggles clean for the brighter days on the slopes. Our favorite resorts for late-season skiing and boarding include:
- Timberline Lodge in Oregon: For the latest skiing opportunities available, the glacier atop Mount Hood allows for year-round skiing.
- Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah: With a staggering peak altitude of 11,000, this expansive resort boasts late May and June skiing in most seasons.
- Mammoth Mountain Ski Area in California: Known for its breathtaking vistas and excellent annual snowfall, this is a popular resort for all late-season snow chasers.
- Arapahoe Basin in Colorado: Also known as A-Basin, this steep and deep resort boasts later-than-average riding into early June or later thanks to ample precipitation and mountainous terrain that shields the basin from warmer weather patterns.

Prepare for the Softer Snow With Better Gear This Season
The best thing about taking a springtime ski trip with your friends or family? Frostbite and frozen rides up the chairlift are less likely to disrupt the fun and exploration! Even though you may not need your thermal layers or ultra-insulated mittens, it’s still important to prepare with gear that promotes safety, visibility, and comfort if the temperatures drop unexpectedly.
